What is the 'cost of dying' in 2024?
Published 01/02/2024
When forced to think about death and dying, we usually consider the emotional and mental costs that it will bestow upon ourselves and our loved ones. However, if we take a more pragmatic approach, then we can start to consider the ‘cost of dying’ as relating to the actual monetary cost of a person’s send off.

Winter Wellness: Healthy Eating Habits for a Brighter Mind
Published 25/01/2024
Focusing on nourishing foods during the winter months can do wonders for both the body and mind. Embracing a wholesome diet not only enhances our mental well-being but also contributes significantly to our physical health. Consider the following strategies to elevate your diet and promote optimal mental and physical well-being: Hydration Staying hydrated is crucial for a healthy body and mind. Drinking plenty of water helps to regulate body temperature, prevent infections, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well hydrated can also help to improve sleep quality, cognitive function and mood. Herbal teas and vegetable soups are great options for the winter months. Incorporate Healthy Fats Not all fats are bad for you. Omega 3 fatty acids found in nuts, seeds, and fatty fish like salmon or sardines can help to improve cognitive function and mood. Avocados and olive oil are also excellent sources of healthy fats that support brain health and overall well-being. Embrace Seasonal Produce Winter offers a bounty of seasonal fruits and vegetables, packed with essential nutrients. Citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruit are rich in vitamin C, which helps to boost the immune system and fight off winter colds. Root vegetables such as carrots and sweet potatoes are a hearty source of vitamins and fibre. Balance Try to aim for balanced meals, incorporating protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Include plenty of fibre rich foods, and eat a variety of different fruits and vegetables as part of your meals. Everything in Moderation Try to limit sugar and sweet treats as much as you can, as excessive sugar consumption can negatively impact mood and energy levels. You can still enjoy your favourite snacks and treats, but try to limit the amount you are consuming, or swap with healthier alternatives like fresh fruit and dark chocolate. Think Ahead Make a meal plan for each week and try to stick to it. You can also prepare meals ahead, such as batches of soups and stews, and keep a few portions in the freezer so you can enjoy nutritious meals even if you don’t have a lot of time to cook. Eating a healthy diet doesn’t mean you have to cut out all of your favourite foods. Moderation is the key, and focusing on a nutrient rich diet, staying hydrated and eating mindfully can help to support your well-being and maintain a brighter mind throughout the winter season.

National Storytelling Week 2024
Published 22/01/2024
Storytelling doesn’t just happen in books. Blockbuster films are telling you a story. Soap operas are telling you a story. Storytelling happens in the theatre and in your favourite pop songs. Even recounting anecdotes to a co-worker next to the water cooler about some ridiculous thing that happened on Saturday night is a form of storytelling. Stories are deeply routed into who we are as a people, so it’s only right that we take time to celebrate this during National Storytelling Week.

Why charities love in memory donations
Published 18/01/2024
A charity runs on the kindness and goodwill of the people that it is there to help. Without generous donations from the public, charities would not be able to do all of the good work that they do. There are many ways to donate to charity or to raise money for them, but in memory donations have become a vital part of their fundraising.

Coping with January Blues: Tips for Mental Well-being
Published 11/01/2024
With the dazzle of the festive season behind us, January seems all the more bleak in comparison. It’s normal to feel a little deflated in January; while we’ve passed the solstice and the days are gradually getting longer again, we’re still in for a lot of dark, gloomy mornings and nights before we get to the longer, brighter days of spring and summer. Here are some tips for coping with January blues in the meantime: Practice Self-care Ensure you’re getting enough sleep, try to eat healthily and get regular exercise. Each of these things is important for our mental well-being. Engaging in mindfulness activities such as meditation and yoga can help to alleviate stress. Use relaxation techniques to help you unwind and relax your mind. Deep breathing exercises or just taking the time out for a warm bath can help with this. Social Connection Ensure to connect with loved ones regularly, as social interaction can help to boost your mood and combat the loneliness that we are prone to feel in January. You could join a group or club for an activity that interests you, as being part of a community can offer support and a sense of belonging. A book club if you like to read, a walking group if you’d like to get out more, or a cooking class are just some of the options.

Brew Monday 2024
Published 08/01/2024
As the new year dawns and the holiday cheer begins to fade, January often brings a wave of the blues. The third Monday in January, this year Monday 15th, is often referred to as “Blue Monday”, apparently the most difficult day of the year. However, this is a myth, and the Samaritans have decided to start a new tradition: Brew Monday. They are encouraging people to start a conversation over a brew.

New Year, Old Wounds: Nurturing Yourself Through January Grief
Published 04/01/2024
The arrival of a new year is a time often associated with new beginnings and hope, but it can also be a reminder of past pain and loss. It’s more important than ever to ensure you are practising self-care, acknowledging your feelings, and treating yourself with compassion. Here are some ways you can nurture yourself throughout January, to help combat feelings of grief: Acknowledge Your Emotions January is a time for mixed emotions, especially when you are grieving. There can be hope and optimism as you face a fresh start, and sadness and nostalgia as you reflect on the past. Give yourself the space to feel without judgement, and understand that grieving during this time is a natural part of the human experience. Honour the Past Take some time to reflect on the past year, acknowledging both the highs and the lows. Celebrate your achievements and growth, while recognising any challenges or losses. Honour past memories tied to your grief by creating a tribute, journalling, writing a letter, or engaging in an activity that holds significance. Practice Self-care Be kind to yourself during this time. Maintain routines to keep yourself grounded, practice mindfulness, and engage in hobbies or activities that you enjoy. If your grief feels overwhelming, seek support from friends, family or a mental health professional.

Looking ahead to 2024
Published 01/01/2024
I’m going to be honest with you, this article started out as a reflective look back at 2023. I was hoping it would be a warm and nostalgic read to start the new year, but it actually ended up being quite the downer. What happened in 2023..? The year feels like it came and went without so much as a tip of the cap or a jovial ‘see you later’. I don’t think that I’m prepared to let 2024 do the same, so I thought we could look ahead and plan some things to do together in the hopes that this year leaves a more lasting and positive impression.
